Brut Cava Sparkling Blend
Brut but rich with pear and apple. One of my favorite cavas in recent years. Purchased at Matsuya in Tokyo. — 5 years ago

Gran Reserva Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada
I’m going to be posting backlogged wines from this weekend for awhile! This was a solid winner. Cavas are so beautiful. This one was complex with a finish that didn’t quit. I need more. — 7 years ago

If you think there's a better wine for a warm summer day, please tell me immediately. This is how I like whites - decent, dry apple/citrus fruitiness with a crisp finish and a little zest hanging around to keep you interested. Oh, and this thing has a little bubbles to it! Maybe half as much as your average prosecco (or even less) but definitely a little carbonation for a little extra texture. Wish I had discovered this earlier! Drank while finishing up some late work on a Friday and before going out for the night, but this would work equally as well at 2:30pm hanging out under an umbrella near a pool.
Do yourself a favor and Google/Wikipedia the origination of this wine, if they can ever increase production it's going to displace the generic proseccos and cavas of the U.S. market. — 7 years ago

Pretty deep ruby garnet with garnet , terracotta . Quite sweet , spiced , dried fruit nose , slightly volatile nose . On the palate this is better , meaty and rich spiced dried dark fruits, plum , fig. Quite grippy tannins and balanced acidity . Good density and rich meaty finish , a little porty, pretty good length . Dense and rich , much more than expected . Still dense and really quite young, held up well in the glass , this would probably continue at this level for a further 5-10 years . — 8 days ago
